17. Training Leaders in the Church (Seminar)

In this seminar, Sinclair Ferguson, David Garner, and Joel Kim consider how Christians can be intentional about encouraging and supporting faithful leaders in our local churches.
Questions:
- What is leadership? How has the world’s understanding of leadership either informed or distorted our expectations of leaders in the church? (1:21)
- What role do Bible colleges, seminaries, and parachurch organizations have in training leaders? (7:30)
- What does faithful preparation for ministry require that cannot be learned in the classroom? (13:01)
- What factors can lead to people stumbling and falling in ministry? How can seminaries and Bible colleges address this problem? (17:40)
- What is the importance of patience and hope as we invest in others? (25:26)
